There have always been subtle variations. Your story, Doug, mirrors what I said about top tubes on the 64’s: 62cm long in 2001. 60 cm long in 2007.
And yes, Hillbornes too: the very earliest green ones with cantis had longer TT’s than the sidepull/canti oranges that followed them in 2010. I’ve bought a few Rivs since 2001, and in my experience, the rides of the later ones tend to be better. I trust their geometry tweaks. -Jim W.
